(单词翻译:单击)
A resident in a posh(时髦的,漂亮的) hotel breakfast room called over(点名) the head waiter one morning and said with a wonderful and cheerful smile.
"Good Morning sir. What a wonderful morning. I'd like two boiled eggs, one of them so under cooked it's runny(流鼻涕的,水分多的) , and the other so over cooked it's tough and hard to eat. Also, grilled1(烤的) bacon(咸肉,腌肉) that has been left out so it gets a bit on the cold side; burnt toast that crumbles2 away as soon as you touch it with a knife; butter straight from the deep freeze so that it's impossible to spread; and a pot of very weak coffee, lukewarm(冷淡的,微温的) ."
"That's a complicated order sir," said the bewildered(困惑的) waiter. "It might be quite difficult."
The guest replied, "Oh? I don't understand -- that's what I got yesterday!"
